With sadness, our family extends its condolences. Although there was distance in our adult years - would like to highlight some of the things that my brother Larry extended in the early years. For the most part - he was like a 2nd dad - taught me how to play baseball, football - without that probably would not have played sports - even attended games to provide moral support - always included me in his activities - going to the beach, participating in his bowling league nights - even traveling in inclement weather - traveling to Hinsdale in Vermont and seeing him win on a 35-to-1 bet on Teddy's Roosevelt (although too young to actually understand what that meant). Larry took me to career night at Pulaski High School - to support and guide the process, as we moved from one Career Kiosk to the next - with patience and full-support - never asking for anything in return. There are many, many other things that are remembered - although the most important part - is how much of himself, he gave to others. He was a standout - and one could not only learn from Larry - one could be infected by his quick wit, kindness, consideration and big heart. He spent his career, as an Educator - recall when he first started - he gravitated to Special Needs Children - again a statement and reinforcement of what he was made of. His life was not without challenges - and no matter what he dealt with - he handled it with confidence, stick-to-it-ness and integrity. What he did for me and his memory will prevail.
